South East Asia is home to a huge variety of animal and bird species, including elephants, bats and, of course, orang-utans. Bridge & Wickers, the Australian family travel specialist, has launched a brochure offering inspiring holidays in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Options for families include a stay at Kamu Lodge in Laos, where guests can plant rice in a paddy field and visit the Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre in Borneo.
